Timothy Hicks Biography

My name is Timothy Hicks, and I've been writing for 5 years now, since I was 13. My main hobbies include writing, playing my piano, origami and bicycling.

I'm a bit OCD about some things and some would refer to me as a nervous pacer. I like to do outdoor activities, but at the same enjoy my alone time where I can sit and write. I'm a very avid reader and enjoy several different genres: horror, science-fiction, fantasy, and mysteries such as Sherlock Holmes.

I've had several different jobs including shakerboarder, pizza-make and cotton candy maker-and-distributor.

I like to think of myself as someone that can fit into almost any crowd and I always try to stay on the bright side of things. I swear very little and hardly ever get mad at people. I believe spreading smiles is a much better practice than sharing negativity...

Timothy Hicks Poems

Published My First Book

Blog Posted by Timothy Hicks: 3/19/2021 11:09:00 AM

Hello Fellow Soupers!

I know I haven't posted in ages, but the good news is that I managed to publish my first book. I hope it turned out okay, as I'm very new to the publishing world ... I want to thank you guys for all the love and support you've given me over the years, even during the times where it seems I fell off the face of the planet. Lol.

I'm still out there, alive and kicking, just living life to the best of my abiltiy.

If you liked reading my stuff before or if it's your first time, I hope you'll check it out. I put a lot of time and effort into it, and I sure do hope it shows in the end result.

:)

Congratulations, Timothy! How exciting! I admire your determination - I’ve been thinking of getting my poems together in a book for years and haven’t gotten past the thinking stage. I wish you all the best of luck with it and look forward to reading more of your work. Take care..... Ilene

March 26, 2021 at 9:22 AM

Thanks for the stop, Ilene! It can be a tricky process ... how do organize it? Which to keep and which to keep out? So on and so forth. But I think it's worth the effort :)

Dude, it's been ages. Super happy to see this. Congrats! Oh, BTW, this is Drake (Tacito is my new name). :)

March 22, 2021 at 9:39 PM

The very short-end: Life & some terrible people caused me to rethink everything, burn a few bridges to build new roads...starting with my Poet name. :) I never expected to see you around again. This is just wonderful! Congrats again!!!

March 22, 2021 at 9:22 PM

Sure has been a long time. Still have been writing, just not as much sharing, since I've been working on this project. Glad to see you're still around.

March 22, 2021 at 9:21 PM

Thanks Drake! What brought about the new name?

March 22, 2021 at 10:26 AM

Big congratulations, Timothy. I'm sure you poured your heart and soul into this project. I hope there are many more to come; you are so full of writing talent and fresh ideas. Glad you posted the info here on a blog. Take care ~ John
